Privacy Policy

Effective date: [[EFFECTIVE_DATE]]

This Privacy Policy describes how [[ENTITY_LEGAL_NAME]](“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit CannabisFiling.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Who we are

The Site is published by [[ENTITY_LEGAL_NAME]], a company organized under the laws of the United States. The Site publishes general information about federal cannabis rescheduling and related topics for state-licensed medical cannabis operators. We are not a law firm, a tax advisor, or a regulatory filing service. Nothing on the Site is legal, tax, or regulatory advice for any specific situation.

For questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at [[ENTITY_EMAIL]] or by mail at [[ENTITY_ADDRESS]].

2. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site and to information collected through it. It does not apply to third-party websites linked from the Site, to communications that take place outside the Site, or to any service we may offer in the future under a different policy.

The Site is intended for users located in the United States. We do not target or knowingly direct the Site to users outside the United States.

3. Information we collect

We collect the following categories of information.

Information you provide directly. When you submit the contact form, you provide your name, email address, and other information you choose to include — typically your company name, the state where you operate, the type and number of licenses you hold, and a description of what you need help with. You may also include a phone number if you choose to.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our hosting provider and analytics provider automatically receive certain technical information, including your IP address, the type of device and browser you are using, the pages you visit on the Site, the time and date of your visit, and the URL of the site that referred you. We use a privacy-respecting analytics service that does not set cookies for cross-site tracking and does not collect personally identifying information.

Information from cookies and similar technologies. The Site uses a minimal set of technical cookies necessary for the Site to function. We do not use advertising cookies, marketing cookies, or cross-site tracking technologies. We do not sell or share information collected through cookies with advertisers.

4. How we use information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes.

To respond to inquiries. When you submit the contact form, we use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry and, where appropriate, to refer you to a qualified professional service provider.

To operate and improve the Site. We use technical and analytics information to understand how the Site is used, identify which content is useful, diagnose technical problems, and improve the Site over time.

To comply with law. We may use information as necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests from government authorities, or protect the legal rights of [[ENTITY_LEGAL_NAME]] or others.

We do not use the information you provide for advertising. We do not build user profiles for advertising purposes. We do not sell personal information.

5. How we share information

We share information only in the following limited circumstances.

With service providers. We use third-party service providers to operate the Site, including a hosting provider, an analytics provider, an email delivery provider, and a form processing provider. These providers receive only the information they need to perform their function and are contractually limited in how they may use it.

With professional service referral recipients. If you submit the contact form and we determine that a referral to a third-party professional service provider (such as an attorney or CPA) is appropriate, we may share the information you submitted with that provider in order to facilitate the referral. We will not share your information with a referral recipient without your knowledge.

For legal reasons. We may disclose information if required to do so by law, in response to a valid legal request from a government authority, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of [[ENTITY_LEGAL_NAME]], our users, or others.

In connection with a business transfer. If [[ENTITY_LEGAL_NAME]] is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information collected through the Site may be transferred as part of that transaction. Any successor entity will be bound by the commitments in this Privacy Policy unless and until it provides notice of a change.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

6. Data retention

We retain information you submit through the contact form for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and to maintain a reasonable record of the interaction, typically not longer than three years after our last contact with you, unless a longer retention period is required by law or necessary to defend a legal claim. Technical and analytics information is retained according to the retention settings of the relevant service provider.

You may request that we delete information you have submitted by contacting us at [[ENTITY_EMAIL]].

7. Security

We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is fully secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we become aware of a security incident that materially affects the information you have provided, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.

8. Children

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided information through the Site, contact us at [[ENTITY_EMAIL]] and we will delete it.

9. Your choices

You may decline to provide information through the contact form. You may decline cookies by configuring your browser to reject them, although doing so may affect the functionality of the Site.

If you have submitted information through the Site and want to access, correct, or delete it, contact us at [[ENTITY_EMAIL]]. We will respond to reasonable requests within thirty days.

State residents may have additional rights under applicable state privacy law. If you are a resident of a state with a comprehensive consumer privacy law, contact us at [[ENTITY_EMAIL]] to exercise rights you may have under that law.

10. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no consensus among industry participants on what a Do Not Track signal should mean or how it should be honored. The Site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals because we do not engage in the cross-site tracking the signal was designed to limit.

11. Third-party links

The Site may link to third-party websites operated by federal agencies, state agencies, and other third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the linked site. Review the privacy policy of any third-party site before providing information to it.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” at the top of this Policy indicates when the current version took effect. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on the Site. Continued use of the Site after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
